Description

A four-axis rotating camera device suitable for multiple scenes

[0001] This disclosure claims priority to a Chinese patent application filed with the Patent Office of China on January 9, 2024, with application number 202420050172.9 and invention name “A four-axis rotating camera device suitable for multiple scenes,” the entire contents of which are incorporated by reference into this disclosure. Technical Field

[0002] The present disclosure belongs to the field of camera equipment, and in particular relates to a four-axis rotation camera device suitable for multiple scenes. Background Art

[0003] Surveillance cameras are widely used in various scenarios as a protective device. However, common camera devices in the prior art have some limitations in the following aspects:

[0004] Most camera devices are designed for specific scenarios, such as shooting at a specific location or in a fixed direction, and are difficult to flexibly adapt to a variety of usage scenarios; many camera devices are restricted in rotation in the heading and pitch directions, and may only be able to rotate in the horizontal or vertical direction, making it difficult to achieve all-round flexible shooting; when facing external impacts or harsh environments, the camera lens of existing devices is easily damaged or cannot effectively protect the camera device itself.

[0005] The above problems lead to certain limitations of existing camera devices in multi-scene applications, which cannot meet users' needs for flexible, multi-directional, and highly protective shooting. Therefore, solving these problems is a technical challenge that is difficult to achieve with existing technologies.

[0006] Utility Model Content

[0007] In view of this, the present disclosure aims to provide a four-axis rotation camera device suitable for multiple scenes, in order to solve at least one of the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of the present disclosure is implemented as follows:

[0009] A four-axis rotating camera device suitable for multiple scenes, comprising:

[0010] A base, wherein a support rod is hingedly connected to the lower end surface of the base, and a mounting seat for mounting a four-axis rotating camera device is hingedly connected to one end of the support rod away from the base;

[0011] A protective shell, wherein a heading motor is provided at the bottom of the protective shell, a housing of the heading motor is fixedly connected to the base, and a power output end of the heading motor is fixedly connected to the protective shell;

[0012] A spherical structure is provided on the inner side of the protective shell, a camera lens is provided on the inner side of the spherical structure, and a gear is fixed on the outer side wall of the spherical structure;

[0013] A pitch motor is further provided inside the protective shell. A sector rack corresponding to the gear is fixed to the power output end of the pitch motor, and the sector rack is meshed with the gear.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the four-axis rotation camera device applicable to multiple scenes described in the present disclosure has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] The four-axis rotating camera device is designed to be adaptable to various scenarios and can be used in different occasions. The combination of the base, support rod and mounting base allows the device to be flexibly installed and used in various environments.

[0016] The combination of pan and tilt motors, along with the gear and rack design, allows the camera to rotate precisely in both horizontal and vertical directions. This increases the camera's flexibility, allowing it to quickly adapt to shooting requirements in different directions.

[0017] By placing a spherical structure and camera lens inside the protective shell, the design effectively protects the device from external influences while still maintaining a good shooting angle. This can better protect the camera device in some special environments or sports. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
